Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were married in a ceremony at Madison Square Garden in New York City on July 3, 2026, in front of about 1,000 guests [1, 2, 3, 4]. The event was preceded by a smaller pre-party on July 2 attended by around 100 guests [5, 6, 7]. The venues and the surrounding streets were closed from July 2 to midday July 4 to accommodate the celebrations [5, 7, 8, 1].
The wedding ceremony was officiated by actor and comedian Adam Sandler, a close friend of the couple. Swift remarked that Sandler’s role reflected a character "where he escapes to mentally in times of stress, pressure, anxiety or chaos" [1, 3].
Both Swift and Kelce wore bespoke wedding attire designed by Jonathan Anderson, Creative Director of Dior's women's, men's, and haute couture lines [1, 9, 3]. Swift’s brother Austin Swift served as her Man of Honour, while Travis Kelce's brother Jason Kelce was the Best Man; the couple opted not to have bridesmaids or groomsmen [1, 9, 3].
Celebrity guests included Selena Gomez, Hugh Grant, Jessica Alba, Camila Cabello, Jack Antonoff, Gracie Abrams, and Ellie Goulding among others. Alba posted, "We love love. Congrats to T&T - such a beautiful night celebrating you." BBC Radio 1 DJ Greg James called it "an unbelievably brilliant night" [1, 2, 4]. Fans outside Madison Square Garden sang Swift's songs and wore concert merchandise amid a heavy police presence [6, 2, 9, 4]. The event shut down one of Manhattan’s busiest areas during a summer heatwave with temperatures around 37°C (98.6°F) [6, 1].
The couple initially announced their engagement in August 2025, drawing extensive media and fan attention. Their relationship included high-profile public appearances at Kansas City Chiefs games and on Swift’s Eras Tour before the wedding [10, 11].
Permit applications had been submitted by Winick Productions in early June 2026 to close streets and set up event infrastructure, including a tent for guest arrivals at Madison Square Garden [5, 7, 8]. As of reporting, the couple had not released any official wedding photos, maintaining strict privacy around the event [2, 4].
